This paper presents a 2.2 GHz receiver front-end capable of an extreme current reuse, where the low-noise amplifier, the quadrature mixers and VCOs only draw 1.3 mA from a 1V supply. A careful time-variant analysis is carried out, resulting in a very accurate expression of the conversion gain and bandwidth of the downconverter. A prototype, implemented in a 90 nm CMOS technology, shows 27 dB gain over a 14 MHz bandwidth, with a noise figure of 13 dB. The input-referred 1 dB compression point is -23.7 dBm.

Abstract
This paper presents a 2.2 GHz receiver front-end capable of an extreme current reuse, where the low-noise amplifier, the quadrature mixers and VCOs only draw 1.3 mA from a 1V supply. A careful time-variant analysis is carried out, resulting in a very accurate expression of the conversion gain and bandwidth of the downconverter. A prototype, implemented in a 90 nm CMOS technology, shows 27 dB gain over a 14 MHz bandwidth, with a noise figure of 13 dB. The input-referred 1 dB compression point is -23.7 dBm.
